AbstractOptical communications are definitively playing a major role in high speed interconnects in servers, datacenters, and supercomputers. In these systems, copper cables have been replaced by active optical cables in order to deal with data rate typically above 100Gbps per module. Mainly based today on optical sub-assembly modules using VCSEL emitters, optical links remain an expensive solution. As a result, the next generation of optical components must meet the challenge of high speed, low cost, low energy consumption, and high -volume manufacturing. Silicon photonics appears as a unique opportunity to cope with this challenge, leading also to a convergence between photonics and electronics in terms of fabrication foundry, design tool environment, and circuit co-integration.

However, on this path towards the photonic and electronic convergence, integration challenges still remain. From die-to-die, to die-to-wafer and wafer-to-wafer integration. We present the main approaches we consider using copper pillars, trough silicon vias, and copper-copper direct bonding technologies in order to reach higher density with even smaller electrical interconnect pitches. The implementation of these integration technologies are then illustrated through various packaging scenarios applied to optical communication modules.

Quantum Computing : The Engineering Challenges

Quantum Computing : The Engineering Challenges

Koen Bertels
professor
Delft University of Technology

AbstractThe challenges to build a quantum computer are enormous and can be separated in physics and engineering challenges. The physics challenges focus on the coherence time of the superposition and entangled state of qubits and on defining ways to increase the fidelity of the qubit states and to compensate for the errors that occur during the quantum operations. The engineering challenge can be summarised by the word `scalability'. For instance, it has been stated that in order to apply the famous factorisation algorithm developed by Shor, it is expected that around 5 billion physical qubits are needed to factor a 2000 bit number in a reasonable time (expressed in number of hours). Knowing that the largest number of physical qubits one is capable today of creating and controlling is less than 10 it immediately becomes clear that several breakthroughs are needed to achieve the goal of building a quantum computer. The engineering challenges are thus focused on this scalability as the qubits need to be controlled, manipulated and corrected such that the exponential computing power is preserved.

The quantum state and therefore the (entangled) qubit state is very fragile. Any small interaction with the environment causes a bit-flip or phase shift error and the superposed state to decohere. In addition, a quantum state cannot be measured directly without destroying the superposition. This destructive reading as well as the duration and fragility of the superposition (decoherence time) are the achilles heel of quantum computing and one of the main challenges of any quantum computer as this qubit behaviour interferes in its correct operation.

In this talk, we will focus primarily on those aspects of building a quantum computer that are to a certain extent disconnected from the pure physics layer where one is focusing on building and improving the physical device. We focus on the system design challenges of a large-scale quantum computer.

BiographyKoen Bertels is professor and head of the CE Laboratory where 6 faculty members and around 30 PhD students perform research along 4 themes: the first is Liquid Architectures where we investigate how to make the processor architecture, interconnect and memory hierarchy responsive with respect to specific application requirements. The second focuses on the design of Big Data computing systems with an emphasis on genome sequencing. The third theme addresses issues such as reliability and fault tolerance and looks at non Von Neumann architectures based on novel devices such as memristors. The fourth theme is Quantum Computing where the CE lab is part of the larger QuTech research lab that aims to build a quantum computer based on quantum gates. Within QuTech, he is the principal investigator for architectural and system design of the quantum computer.
